English - Study Plan Planning your study helps in making it extensive and thorough. Given below are some guidelines that may help you to score high in each section of SSC English papers. Answering questions based on the lessons in the main reader: Start by studying the questions for comprehension asked after each lesson at least a few times, which helps in grasping the important topics that can be asked in each lesson. Then take up a more detailed approach for a deeper understanding of each lesson-to understand questions better and know the necessary points to be written for each question. Make a note of the important topics-whichever can be asked as questions. Don’t depend entirely on the questions given after each lesson. Meanings:

Keep a dictionary beside you while reading lessons to look up the meanings of words you are not so sure of the meaning. Also a dictionary/thesaurus gives a list of similar meaning words. Meaning of the underlined word:

Knowing the different ways a word can be used and the meaning it conveys in each context helps you score marks in the ‘meaning of the underlined word’ section. Ask the teacher for the subtle differences in meanings and usages of those words. Pronunciation:

Listen carefully when the teacher pronounces unfamiliar words. Listening is the way to recognize sounds in a language. This will help in recognizing similarly pronounced words and rhyming words. Spellings:

While reading a lesson, observe the spellings and make note of words which may be mis-spelt. E.g.: enmity, pilgrimage, austere etc. This helps in recognizing the wrongly spelt words and correcting them. Read the exercises after each lesson also with a critical eye. Practice solving old question papers, bit banks etc and keep evaluating yourself-your strengths and areas that need more work. Rewriting sentences as directed:

...sport, has long lost touch with their roots in the working class. Professional football has evolved into a large, family-oriented entertainment company, which, however, suffer from bullying, declining visits and financial crises. However, such changes in recent years, as improved seats in stadiums, close protection and broadcasting matches on television have greatly improved the situation.
Rugby - a popular winter sport. It is divided into two types: Rugby Union for amateur clubs (earlier games influenced the middle class and private schools) and Rugby League - for professional teams, mostly in the north of England, and still sports the working class. In both types of rugby played at the international level.
Cricket - summer sport, but English teams also play in the winter in the Commonwealth. There are both amateur and professional cricket team. Most cricket - a professional sport, and the UK is divided into 17 British and one uelskuyu teams that are competing in the County Championship. Attendance levels of cricket continues to decline, and the modern game has lost much of its appeal and become more focused on monetary gain and professionalism.

...as these are counted and marked for their final exam. The kinds of stresses experienced by the students are health issues, personal issues, dropping their interest in social activities and losing interest in extracurricular activities.
Learners have health issues, personal problems, and depressive disorder issues due to the stress experienced in studies because of the professors’ and parents’ pressure. They lack sleep and food as they are busy trying hard to get high grades. There is also no time for the students for any other activities because of the load of work given by the university professors. Students also face health issues like eye-sight problem, back-pain, headache etc. due to over use on the computers and other gadgets for doing their homeworks and assignments. These stresses lead the students to being unhealthy to attend school (Anonymous, 2010). Moreover, many students face different kinds of psychological issues due to the high pressure experienced. After all these effort, if they are not able to score as they expected, it leads them into depression. Many students, therefore, commit suicide (Anonymous, 2010). Furthermore, many students leave their home countries and go abroad to study, for they can get better and more recognized education there. A university is very different is from the high school, so students often find themselves in a stressful situation inorder to adjust in the new environment (Whitman, 1985). Parents are the...

...﻿“A PERFECT WORLD IS A WORLD WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION”
I partially disagree about this topic “a perfect world is a world without discrimination”. Discrimination is treating people by their differences. We all need a world with good discrimination, not bad discrimination. In this Essay I’m going to discuss three reasons to support my arguments. Vincent’s discriminated in Gattaca is a bad form, will discrimination still exists in today’s world, and also racism is important form of discrimination. Imagine a future without discrimination or lack of understands. Discrimination has always existed in society. In today’s world discrimination will continuously be part of nature and is necessary as I will outline.
Vincent is in-valid and he faces genetic discrimination and prejudice in the movie Gattaca. The only way he can achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut is to become Valid, a person who impersonates a “valid” with a superior genetic profile. Discrimination in Gattaca is so logical, “I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No, we now have discrimination down to a science.” This quote shows us that Vincent is having a hard time of achieve his dream. Vincent almost takes it granted in his daily life. But in the end he achieves his long-life dream of becoming an astronaut is to break the law and impersonate a “valid”. Vincent’s successes at Gattaca space preforms better the Irene –who is a “valid”, and shows that...

...glimpse of Heaney's father's grief at the death of his four-year old brother. What shocks the young Heaney is that:
"He had always taken funerals in his stride" ("Mid-Term Break")
And we know from the other Heaney poems that his father was a physically strong man, "a man's man", so to speak, who would probably see tears as weakness in himself. The fact that he is playing the man's role by greeting relatives and friends in the porch but cannot hide his tears from them is an indication ofhow much this man is devastated by the loss of his little boy and is beyond caring about showing it.
We see love in "Cold-Knap Lake" from Gillian Clarke's mother to the little girl into whom she breathes life. The phrase "bleating and rosy in my mother's hands" almost makes this child sound like her newborn as she and this "stranger's child" share an intimate moment. As I said before, it is difficult to see the love in a household that "thrashed" their child for nearly dying, but then there is no accounting for how shock affects some people. The poet herself seems to be stunned by the lack of love here. It's almost as if she is saying, Why did my mother bring this child back to life to be treated like this?
The love in "On My First Sonne" is very obvious too. The poem itself seems to be written as a tribute to his son, like an epitaph, the words you would find engraved on a gravestone, in order to keep him alive in people's memories forever. His father...

...don’t know about and thus should always consider how our actions could cause others to feel and react; realizing that one hurtful deed could be the tip of the iceberg for some; leading to things far greater than we could’ve imagined.
Lying against the same old damp pillow, my cheeks tight and salty from the desolate tears that form part of my nightly routine. My head hurts and I can feel the rings under my eyes grow darker as the hours of the night tick away. I like this time of evening, not having to smile and pretend that everything is okay, meaningless conversation with people who pretend to be interested in what you have to say. The cool air that runs underneath the window brushes against my skin and the wounds along my arms and legs sting a little, this familiar feeling has a comforting edge to it. “This is one thing I can actually control,” I think to myself. I know what I’m doing is wrong, mother made me read that book about the girl who drinks herself into a comma every night in order to forget about her abusive father, “aren’t you glad we are a normal family” she used to say when discussing the book with me; “if only you knew” I thought to myself.
I hear Alice rolling around in her bed, she always seems so fulfilled with things, helping mum around the house, chatting to her friends, singing in the shower, how does she do it? Always has the boys at school looking at her, not a negative bone in her body. Maybe that’s...

...﻿Nowadays, majority of people use different types of media to deliver information or data on current affairs, history and other subjects such as radio and television. Along with the advancement of the technology, media such as the internet provides information about the western culture for instance, which allows exchanging of knowledge of other cultures can be viewed on the television or internet. However, misuse of these technologies can cause problems to our society, such that we cannot distinguish the valid information from the invalid ones. This means that people can be easily manipulated by the people who control the media especially to Brunei’s traditional culture. Some bad influence from the western culture, for instance the use of foreign language, western foods and western style of clothing, can be followed by the young generation whose role is in nation building. Unfortunately, if the young generations are less interested in studying local traditional culture as they are more interested and influenced by the western culture can cause damage to their life in the future. Media poses threats to traditional culture in Brunei in several ways. These include threats in the local dress code, food culture as well as Brunei’s language.
Firstly, local dress code is part of Brunei’s identity on Brunei based on Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB), however, since the media have a great influence in shaping people’s ways of thinking, for example in terms of clothing,...

How to Save a Life
As human beings, we live in this world for a short period of time compared to the age of the earth. Anytime soon, we will have to leave this life. So, leaving behind us unforgettable memories and good achievements will make us feel accomplished and fulfilled. “To save a person’s life is like saving all mankind”(citation). Many people experience deadly conditions in their lives, but if they didn’t find the right and knowledgeable person to help them, they will lose their lives. These situations may be known to the person and sometimes they may be not. These conditions are known as seizures. They are dangerous and they can happen to anyone at any time and place. Encountering someone going through a seizure is a very frightening experience. They affect people in greatly at different ages. Yet, anyone can help a person going through a convulsive seizure. By following these processes and steps with the right emergency equipment, a person will be able to handle a seizure situation.
Seizures occur as a result of a burst of electrical impulses in the brain; these impulses break their standard limits in the brain. They will communicate and spread with nearby areas by forming a strong, uncontrollable storm of electrical activity. After that, the electrical impulses reach their way to the muscles resulting in twitching and causing convolutions. However, if these electoral impulses misfire, then a seizure will occur. Furthermore, according to...

"
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS FULL! "
In the last few years, the English language has undergone many changes. Dubbed the
international language, English has become the language that most people wish to
learn. Many reasons explain such a choice but none explains it better than the fact that
the strongest economy still remains the United States of America. Being an Englishspeaking country, its language radiates around the world. Most countries and national
governments grant English a special status in its schools. The internet has helped
spread the language across the globe and anyone who wishes to enter politics or the
business world must learn it. This preeminence has given English a powerful asset but it
has also created problems. More and more people speak it but not only do they learn it,
they also use it alongside their own native language, and as a result, we slowly see the
emergence of new ‘‘Englishes’’ around the world. Not only does English lose its
privileged status among speakers, it is becoming less and less like English and more
and more like a new form of communication. Is the use of foreign words in English a
step forward? Does it endanger the language? Many would believe so. English must
remain what it is today and avoid falling into the trappings of ‘‘cuteness’’ and ‘‘coolness’’
that seems to permeate it....
